Street Fighter V Servers Down Today for Halloween Update; Possible Arcade Mode and EX1 Colors on the Horizon

You’ll have to hold off the online grind for a little while, as Street Fighter V’s servers are down today to prepare for the arrival of the promised Halloween costumes and stage.

The premium Halloween content should be on sale starting tonight, to November 29th.

VesperArcade has taken to YouTube to talk about both this update, and speculation of future content–sparked by a datamined reference to a possible Arcade Mode recently found in SFV. A real Arcade Mode would please a lot of fans, so no surprise that Capcom may indeed have one in the works at last–but that’s not a likely surprise to emerge today. We may see rumored “EX1” colors for the cast soon, however–apparently seen in action at New York Comic Con, we should see these added to Street Fighter V if not tonight, then in the near future. Check out VesperArcade’s video below for more details.

Dead or Alive 5 Last Round Gets New Trailer and Release Date for 2016’s Halloween Costumes

In the dead of night, Team Ninja released a new trailer for Dead or Alive 5 Last Round, showing this year’s Halloween outfits in motion. This year’s selection are as over the top as ever, matching the colorful cast to a tee.

35 of the playable characters will be receiving a new costume option. This unfortunately leaves out the most recently released DLC fighter, Mai Shiranui (from the King of Fighters series). Players will be able to purchase the new costumes for their favorite fighters or in one massive spooky package on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One. PC players will only have the option to purchase the entire trick-or-treat ensemble.

According to the trailer, the costumes will be available starting today, October 11, on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Steam. Check out the latest trailer below!
